Stretch is your friend in this elegant column gown. Yes, it's fitted. But the material is so supportive, you'll actually feel comfortable. The neckline is stunning—a modern twist on off shoulder, which gives you some welcome arm coverage too. The subtle ruching is spot on and the slight flare at the hem creates a beautiful silhouette head to toe. Sizes 0 to 22. Buy from Teri Jon.
